About Me

Hello! My name is Kristina Miller and I am a fourth grade teacher at Double File Trail Elementary. I began the 2011-2012 school year teaching third grade at Teravista Elementary. After being there 1 year the numbers changed and I was placed at Double File Trail. This is my twenty twenty fifth year in Round Rock School District. Originally I started as a substitute teacher. Within two years I was an assistant in a special needs class. Throughout the years I have worked in several capacities at sixteen different elementary schools.

I attended Texas State University for over six and half years. I graduated in May of 2011 and received my certification as an ESL early childhood through sixth grade teacher. During that time, I worked full-time in the school district, had a second job at a ceramic shop in Round Rock and a third job tutoring reading and math at a Korean school. I have a daughter who used to work at DFT, but now is working for Tiff's Treats. 

A little known fact about me is that I love motorcycles!! I have a black Yamaha V-star 650. My boyfriend and I love to go on trips around hill country and try out new food places on the bike. For me, it is my guilty pleasure!

My philosophy of teaching is to focus on every aspect of my students and then helping those children to make learning connections, social and behavioral connections and ultimately empowering them to make quality decisions and choices with their new found abilities and gained knowledge. Students thrive on consistency, structure, energy, creativity and patience. As their teacher, I will get to serve as counselor, nurse, teacher, advisor, disciplinarian and be an advocate for each and every one of them. Students have an amazing capacity to learn. By the end of the school year I want my students to show academic growth as well as feeling safe, relaxed and comfortable to ask questions, to challenge appropriately and to have learned how to be a part of a community. School is a gathering place where adults and children come together to build a strong community and learning environment that is safe, motivating and demands mutual respect for all those involved.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or information you might have.
